    Re: Another Progression Thread

    So I'm starting to think I have a bit of a princess on my hands!! She switched to rats so easily I thought I'd had it too easy and turns out I have... The rats I bought have a great size difference within the label 'rat fluff' and some are so young they have no fur... Xena is disgusted by this and will not take them unless warmed up and drop fed! Dangle a furry room temp rat and she nails it like I've not fed her in weeks!!

    Thery are very inquisitive. Just wait a year or two and they can be a bit troublesome knocking things off of shelves and walls.

    She's a beauty! I'm looking forward to watching her grow.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I have quickly learnt how inquisitive she is!! Definitely not a 'lap snake' like my BP! 😂 but I do love the fact she will just hang out on my shoulders/ around my neck/ on top of my head whilst I carry out some chores! 😊
    Which brings me to the question, do snake's 'know' who you are?! When I handle her she climbs all over me! But when I pass her to my partner she just wants to travel down/away from him and if I stretch my arm out she'll come straight over and onto my shoulders?! Have you ever witnessed this behaviour?

    I don't know if they "know" who your are. But they can prefer one individual's scent and or temperature over another's. Also the way that they are being handled may matter as well.

    Hmm that makes more sense than them 'knowing' us! Although I feel the cold alot more so would have thought my body temperature is on the lower side! But I certainly agree I smell better! 😂

    Agree with Reinz - they get to recognize certain people and how they're handled.

    So Xena shed again for me over the weekend (23rd Oct 16) and I measured the shed, 3.5ft! Her last shed measured at 2.9ft on 5th Sept 16! I'm pretty impressed with her growth rate and can't wait for her to grow some more! in her usual perch spot, my shoulder
